Ratcliffe Increases Manchester United Stake to 28.94%
Sir Jim Ratcliffe has injected an additional £79 million into Manchester United, raising his ownership stake to 28.94%. This investment is earmarked for infrastructure improvements rather than player acquisitions.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe, through his company INEOS, has increased his stake in Manchester United to 28.94% by injecting an additional £79 million into the club. This investment is part of his earlier commitment to invest £237 million in the club's infrastructure. Despite this financial boost, the funds will not be allocated to manager Ruben Amorim's transfer budget for the January window. Instead, the money is intended for infrastructure investments aimed at stabilizing the club's finances amid efforts to cut costs and increase revenue.
Since Ratcliffe's involvement, INEOS has implemented cost-cutting measures, including the reduction of approximately 250 jobs, aiming to save between £45 million to £55 million. These measures are part of a broader strategy to enhance the club's financial stability and operational efficiency.
Ratcliffe's tenure has coincided with a tumultuous period for Manchester United. After winning the FA Cup last season, the club evaluated the future of then-manager Erik ten Hag, who had signed a new contract before being dismissed due to poor results this season. Subsequently, Ruben Amorim was appointed as the new manager. Despite Ratcliffe's investment, Amorim will have limited funds for the upcoming January transfer window, necessitating a focus on internal development and strategic planning to navigate the challenges ahead.
